A. 
Persons discharging or causing to be discharged industrial wastes which exhibit any of the prohibited wastes set out herein before shall pretreat or otherwise dispose of such industrial waste to make the remaining waste acceptable to the Enterprise Director.
B. 
Persons discharging or causing to be discharged industrial wastes which exhibit none of the characteristics of wastes prohibited in Article V and which in the opinion of the Enterprise Director constitutes excessive contribution of flow quantity to the treatment facilities shall be required to pretreat the industrial wastes and discharge an effluent of acceptable quality to other than the public sanitary sewer system if such separate sewer is available.
[R.O. 2008 §710.450; Code 1968 §28-41; CC 1988 §29-152; Ord. No. 20-2024, 10-14-2024]
No gasoline filling station, garage, refining plant, chemical plant, packing house, slaughterhouse, lard rendering establishment, dairy, or any other establishment from which any substance would be discharged into the sewers that would tend to obstruct or damage the sewers or cause a nuisance or endanger the public health or safety or endanger persons who might be in such sewers, shall be connected with any public sewer, except through grease, oil or sand interceptors. All interceptors shall be of a type and capacity approved by the Enterprise Director, shall be located as to be readily accessible for cleaning and inspection and shall be maintained and operated in a manner acceptable to the Enterprise Director.
[R.O. 2008 §710.460; Code 1968 §28-43; CC 1988 §29-153; Ord. No. 20-2024, 10-14-2024]
In order to control the admission of industrial wastes into the public sewer, any person desiring to deposit or discharge an industrial waste mixture into the sewer or sewerage works of the City, or any sewer connected therewith, shall make application to the Enterprise Director for a permit therefor, upon application forms to be obtained from the Enterprise Director.
[R.O. 2008 §710.470; Code 1968 §28-44; CC 1988 §29-154; Ord. No. 20-2024, 10-14-2024]
The owner of any property served by a building sewer carrying industrial wastes shall provide and maintain in a suitable accessible location on his/her premises, or such premises occupied by him/her, an inspection chamber or manhole, into which all wastes from drain, pipe channel or connection which communicates with any sewer or sewerage works of the City, shall discharge, unless specifically exempted in writing by the Enterprise Director. Such manhole or inspection chamber shall be of such design and construction which will facilitate observation, sampling and measurement of the wastes and will prevent infiltration by ground and surface waters. Such manholes shall be accessibly and safely located, shall be constructed by the owner at his/her expense in accordance with plans approved by the Enterprise Director and shall be maintained by the owner at his/her expense.
[R.O. 2008 §710.480; Code 1968 §28-45; CC 1988 §29-155; Ord. No. 20-2024, 10-14-2024]
All measurements, tests and analyses of the characteristics of water and wastes to which reference, is made in this Title shall be determined in accordance with the latest edition of "Standard Methods for the Examination of Water and Wastewater", published by the American Public Health Association and shall be determined at the control manhole provided or upon suitable samples taken at said control manhole. In the event that no special manhole has been required by the Enterprise Director, the control manhole shall be considered to be the nearest downstream manhole in the public sewer to the point at which the building sewer is connected. Sampling shall be carried out by customarily accepted methods to reflect the effect of constituents upon the sewage works and to determine the existence of hazards to life, limb and property.
[R.O. 2008 §710.490; Code 1968 §28-46; CC 1988 §29-156; Ord. No. 20-2024, 10-14-2024]
Sampling of the effluent or waste discharges may be accomplished manually or by use of mechanical equipment to obtain a composite sample which would be representative of the total effluent. Samples shall be taken at intervals determined by the Enterprise Director as necessary to maintain a control over the discharge from the establishment. The City shall have the right to enter and set up on company property such devices or equipment necessary to conduct a gauging and sampling operation and to begin such operation upon presentation of proper identification on arrival without advance notice to the company.
